*Rescheduled*

The 988 Healing Dip, originally scheduled for Sept. 8, has been rescheduled to Sept. 15.

Join Tlingit & Haida’s Community & Behavioral Service Healing Center for a community gathering to practice our culture for means of healing and connection. Everyone is welcome, specially those affected by su***de, people who are personally struggling to keep their light and any community members who feel empowered to uplift others.

WHAT IS THIS EVENT? A community gathering to practice our culture for means of healing and connection

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS EVENT? Anyone affected by su***de, those personally struggling to keep their light, any community members who feel empowered to uplift others.

WHY DIPPING? A cultural practice of dipping one’s body into water to release, find safety, and connection. This is a way to connect with all our living relatives, including our fire & water relatives for deep healing. We are each born with a light that can feel affected during times of grief. It is within us to gather our light during these times to uplift one another for healing and support. Through the power of connection and community we are reminded that we are not alone.

WHAT WILL I NEED TO BRING? An open heart, towel, modest clothes to dip in (suggestions are fitted tank tops/t-shirts/biker shorts/running shorts), water sandals/shoes, dry clothes for after dip

WHAT EVENTS SHOULD I EXPECT? Dipping, Song & Drum, Community Fire + Prayer

Chalyee Éesh Richard Peterson, Aaron Surma, and Jorden Nigro recently shared a piece in the Juneau Independent titled “Supporting Youth After a Su***de.”

If you’re a trusted adult in a young person’s life, we encourage you to give it a read. It offers helpful guidance on how to support youth, including things to say (and things not to say) when navigating a difficult loss.
